they had discovered process of

than to intimate that it related to-
the chemical bath in which the t|ol
is cmer Led in the te npering process.
The callers asserted that by their
me thOd of treatment the cOmmunest
grades of metal such as shears or
cast->teeI, could b tempered, in the
matter Of hardness and tOughnesS .
as to fully equal the best grades OF
tool steel. An ordinary pair Of
cheap caet-steel scissors could lie
treated. without diSConnecting the
blades so as to cut and hold edge

An experiment was made on the
blade Of Seer etary " hjtney's lock
et-knife, with the result that it was
possible TO cut or white an ordlna-
~ steel key without apparent injury
to the blade. Moreover, the results
of the trea tment are asserted to he
so under control that it is possible
to temper steel to any degree OF
hardness or touchnpss that may lie
required hv the use for which it is
Intended. So Impressed was Sccrt-
